I assumed so too after the rumours around the rebreathers and Sky's alleged noble gas method back in the day, but apparently not;

M1.2. Artificially enhancing the uptake, transport or delivery of oxygen. Including, but not limited to: Perfluorochemicals; efaproxiral (RSR13); voxelotor and modified haemoglobin products, e.g. haemoglobin-based blood substitutes and microencapsulated haemoglobin products, excluding supplemental oxygen by inhalation.

• What is the status of supplemental oxygen?​

  
  Supplemental oxygen administered by inhalation, but not intravenously, is permitted. However, some sports authorities may prohibit its use in their regulations. Athletes must check the rules that apply to supplemental oxygen use with the sporting authorities governing the events they compete in.

What good would it do? The absorption through your lungs is a natural limiter..would be sort of cool to see riders wearing a canula or facemask.. Oxygen tank, maybe a....
